Bosh: "Green won't get open looks tonight"

[Blake]

MIAMI –*Enough is enough!

After allowing him*to set a Finals record with 25 3-pointers*(in just five games and on just 38 attempts), the Miami Heat are not going to let*Danny Green*have his way with them any more.“He has a knack for shooting, but he won’t be open tonight,”*Chris Bosh*said after the Heat’s shootaround at AmericanAirlines Arena on Tuesday. “We’ll see how he shoots it when somebody’s always on him.”

Bosh said that the Heat don’t have to make any adjustments to defend Green better in Game 6 (9 p.m. ET, ABC).“It’s just doing what we do,” Bosh said. “Last game, we didn’t do what we normally do. Guys were open and made shots.“They move the ball too well to have defensive lapses. So we’re going to have to trust what we do.”.................

Big three time to score 75.

[Blake]

If they are going to turn their focus on Green, they will lose.

"doing what we do"

"what we do"

aka, "I'm a stupid fuck parroting generically stupid shit" iow, he is what he is :lol

[BatManu20]

They're going to defend him like they did in Game 4. They won't let him get good looks. Someone else is going to have to step up. The Big 3 all need to have big games tonight. Seriously.

[TheyCallMePro]

Green hasn't always been wide open on his 3's anyways.

I think Parker alluded to the fact that they were "still leaving him open" just so Miami would key in on him the next game and allow Parker to have a huge game and win Finals MVP tbh.

[BillMc]

Bosh also goes on to say that if punched in the mouth (metaphorically) they'd respond by punching back in the mouth, groin, throat and eyes.

Bosh - new tough guy!

[Prime Time]

Miami kept a hand in Green's face during Game 4, tbh. I didn't think it worked out too well. I realize Heat won that game - But TP Was slicing them apart in the first half. And had the Big 3 not played the worst second half of their finals career (So bad to the point where Heat's defensive scheme was actually effective), Spurs could have damn well won that game. Miami can easily guard Green, but it's up to the Big 3 to make them pay.

[RD2191]

I hope Duncan shits all over Boh tonight

San Antonio Spurs shooter Danny Green already has 25 made 3-pointers through the first five games of the NBA Finals. It broke Miami Heat guard Ray Allen's record of 22 he set with the Boston Celtics in their 2008 championship run. Green has been open on a lot of his looks throughout the season, due to either great execution or terrible defense or sometimes both.

When Heat big man Chris Bosh was asked during the shootaround before Game 6 on how Danny Green was consistently able to find the open shots he's been taking, Bosh had a very matter-of-fact response. He says Green won't be open in Game 6 when the Heat try to extend their season with a victory.

:lol Ok, that opens things up for Tim, Tony, and Manu in the lane! Even easier!

[Budkin]

Oops, sorry for the dupe!

[spurman123]

neal and manu to the rescue!

[Budkin]

The Spurs would never give the Heat this kind of BB material. Guess what Bosh, Green will be open tonight. And if he's not Tim, Tony, and Manu have the lane to themselves.

[Raven]

i'm guessing they will challenge kawhi to make his shots, they are far better off leaving leonard open than green.

[crc21209]

Bosh talks too damn much. He's been doing it all series. Just shut the hell up and play the game.

[Budkin]

[BillMc]

They also may stay back on Manu and force him to hit jumpers, which isn't a bad strategy these days (even with last game).

[eric365]

Thanks Bosh for the information
Time for Tony and Manu to attack the paint

Same thing that happened in the Memphis series: Green, Kawhi etc shoot a ton of 3s in game 2 and they stayed home on the shooters the rest of the series to allow Tony to have the best series of his career

[Capt Bringdown]

Good, great news - plenty of points in the paint for everyone else then.
Splitter better start practicing his dunks.

[spurraider21]

The spurs typically run action for green off the ball that is designed to get him looks. It's not necessarily Miami choosing him or Kawhi. Look at Ray Allen. Obviously the spurs prefer somebody else shooting, but the offense forces a certain guy to get a look. They'd have to switch on an off-ball screen to really prevent it, and that would create massive matchup issues/confusion since they'd be completely changing defensive philosophy on the fly

[Budkin]

Bosh also goes on to say that if punched in the mouth (metaphorically) they'd respond by punching back in the mouth, groin, throat and eyes.

Bosh - new tough guy!

I think the last one was "ass," no?

[Basty Barrientos]

Yeah this isn't just BB material, the stupid bastard is telling us their game plan. Any information you give you opponent fucks you. I love the end where Pop says he's said nothing about anything. Almost like he knows what he's doing.

true, good point. they may try to pressure the ballhandler less and allow for more parker isos. i'm just guessing here .

[Keepin' it real]

Bosh said that the Heat don’t have to make any adjustments to defend Green better in Game 6 (9 p.m. ET, ABC).“It’s just doing what we do,” Bosh said. “Last game, we didn’t do what we normally do. Guys were open and made shots.“They move the ball too well to have defensive lapses. So we’re going to have to trust what we do.”.................

Chris Bosh is a King-sized Douche-TARD of the highest order. Dude is only somewhat successful because he's riding LeBlowJobs and Smashes coat-tails.

Like Chris Bosh knows ANYTHING of 'what's up'.

Bosh's pussy just hurts because DGREEN is getting more hype and pub than his human Giraffe self.

Spurs win in a close one 105-101.

Did anyone ask Bosh why they didn't do what they normally do?

[Chinook]

Then Green has done his job. The Big Three couldn't have asked for anything more than a role-player coming in and becoming the focus of Miami's defensive game plan. This series has been Big Four caliber for Danny -- simply amazing.

So long as Green a good percentage of the shots he DOES end up getting tonight, Miami is going to be stretched out tremendously, especially if they play small.

[ducks]

it was just not last game green has had open looks the whole series
yes some were contested but not all

[Beaverfuzz]

Shouldn't Bosh have said that after game 2?

[boutons_deux]

Oh Danny Boy shoots 50% when challenged. We'll live with that! :lol

[math]

If they are going to turn their focus on Green, they will lose.
This tbh.

Oh and Manu is going Big Game Hunting tonight like he did in game 5.

[SpurPadre]

The Spurs would never give the Heat this kind of BB material. Guess what Bosh, Green will be open tonight. And if he's not Tim, Tony, and Manu have the lane to themselves.

Actually they did. TP mentioned after Game 5 why the Heat still leave Green open. I knew they would've figured that out otherwise but why even mention it if it's been working out for you? Let them come to that conclusion.

[Brazil]

so let me get this straight, Green won't get open looks but Bosh is saying that Heat is going to do what they do. So doing nothing different and waiting a different outcome ? :lol

[hater]

it's called the Heat scrambling D. It's their trademark. You'd think Bosh would know this by now.

as I posted elsewhere. They can go away from that but that means spurs will just kill them with conventional half court ball.

they don't even have a traditional front line for christ's sakes :lmao

[Brazil]

yeah spo and co needed tp to tell them hey look danny is having the biggest 3 points shooting in finals ever

[SpurPadre]

No, again, I'm sure they were already aware of that issue but why stir the pot? Oh well, it's nothing. We got this one.

That's the definition of insanity, tbh.

[Thebesteva]

This is where Neal and Leonard have to step it up

[Brazil]

No, again, I'm sure they were already aware of that issue but why stir the pot? Oh well, it's nothing. We got this one.

maybe for pushing Heat to pay attention that would open lanes for him and Manu knowing that Green would cool down at one point but like you said. Oh well, it's nothing we got this one :tu

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Parker said what he said cause it plays right into their game 6 strategy. The Heat will be chasing Green all over, maybe even doubling him when he doesn't have the ball in which case, someone else from the Spurs will score easily. Pick & roll and Kawhi driving baseline will win the game if Miami's sole focus on defense is not letting Green open and they can't outscored SA.

[SAScrub]

Danny Green has never been the focal point of the Spurs offense. His shots are the result of the Spurs offense just finding whoever is open. Miami can focus on Green all they want, but he is just a symptom, not the problem. Their entire defensive scheme is unsuited for the offense they have to defend.

and is it just me, or is anyone else sick of these assholes tone? It's almost like they don't feel like SA deserves to win. Like they're bothered that the Spurs won't just go away. I can almost guarantee that when the Spurs win, you won't hear anyone from Miami say "we lost to a better team."

[Mr Bones]

Green's hitting threes with defenders on him. In game 5, he only had one wide open look-- the other five were with defenders nearby.

When Bosh is in tears... "we just didn't do what we do."

[Chinook]

It would be funny if this were one of the rare games where Green goes 6-8 from two and still gets 20 points.

[TrainOfThought5]

Parker and ginobili have to thrive in the paint tonight and hopefully get their man or bosh in foul trouble. keeping us in the bonus, and taking the defensive pressure off our ballhandlers as a result. this could be the series adjustment we need gentlenen.

[mingus]

If they have to guard green 27 feet from the basket, he won't have to hit 3s to be a big factor.

[ffadicted]

Time for lanes to open up lol

"like I said, at the end of the day, it is what it is. it's what we do." - [profound athlete dialogue]

[said7]

Green would be well served to pump fake and draw the foul. They are def gonna run out on him.

[SA210]

Kawhi and Neal have to hit their shots, Manu too, and Tony and Manu need to drive like hell.

[RD2191]

Wade might be the only Heat player to give the Spurs credit.

[it's me]

Actually they did. TP mentioned after Game 5 why the Heat still leave Green open. I knew they would've figured that out otherwise but why even mention it if it's been working out for you? Let them come to that conclusion.

Tony wants the ship.... but he also sees how DG is stealing his final MVP award... The cheat strategy has been trapping the ball handler, affecting him and Manu the most......if they start guarding Green and with Manu in the starting line up, Tony will score at will.

Super!!! That means that Timmy will have much more room to work, and Manu & Tony will have more creases to exploit.

Danny runs off screens, or gets his from penetration of Tp/Manu. I am sure that Tony and Manu will be thankful for more operating room, and Timmy will enjoy one on one action with Bosh.

He is saying this to try and get into Danny's head. I wouldn't be surprised if Danny has a very hard screen set on him early tonight.

[james evans]

If they are going to turn their focus on Green, they will lose.
i hope they are dumb enough to not double off of him and focus their attention on a 4th option. this would be one of the dumbest coaching moves of all time. the thing is, they NEED to double green cuz noone can stop duncan down low or parker on the drive. so it's really them picking their poison. stay with green and we will kill them in the paint

[james evans]

i just hope the officials aren't calling the normal flops from lebron, chalmers, bosh, cole, and ray allen tonight.

Neal will show up. Book it, and if they focus on green big three will have some 1 on 1 situations. I have a very good feeling about tonight.

Cool story Bosh... so if Green screens for Tony, do you stay with Green and let Tony drive to the basket?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

It's out of Bosh's hands. If they want to move Wade, Allen and Miller on Manu and Tony then that's great. They aren't good defenders. That is not suddenly going to change.

[Kidd K]

lol. Honestly, those comments seem like either them trying to trick the Spurs into playing away from him despite his success through the first 5 games in fear of the Heat keying on him more, or them just trying to take credit for defending Green better assuming he won't continue to stay hot.

Maybe I'm giving them too much credit though. I just don't think they would be so dumb as to give away their strategy well before the game even starts.
